Guest guest Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Yes, grape & tropical punch. They are tart like Crystal Light. I prefer the grape as I find the tropical too " busy " for my palette!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 Hi Barbara, I'm not , but I use the extreme pure pro as one of my staple protein drinks. My favorite is tropical punch. It tastes a little like crystal light Its yummy mixed up with ice. Hope this helps, in WA -- Re: protein , is there a sort of protien powder that mixes up and tastes like fruit punch or something ... not a milky taste? i heard of a few called xtreme pure pro ... have you ? and have you tasted them? and what is your opinion if you have... i hope it's ok to ask this here... i'm pre op but the doctor has asked me to start on the protien now ... thanks Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 What are the suggestions for pre surgery gals and guys to take before surgery and how long before SX. eg. protein how much, vitimans which ones, in Pa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 Actually I started protein back on day five protein , Its going to be two weeks before you can have protein drinks, so right now I wouldn't worry about it. Just concentrate on getting your surgery done and staying on your clear liquid diet. I have been taking the Atkins canned protein drinks because they taste good, have practically no sugar, and no carbs. They are alittle expensive, but when I add up all I spent on food for just lunches, I was way ahead. The vita lady has samples you can try later too!! For now, just think positive about the surgery, and get through it, and we will all help later with the small stuff. It will come together!! I'll be speaking to you soon. Keep up your good spirts!!
